Jan Saia is a masterful, modern still life painter. She is an extreemly talented artist with an unforgettable style. From a young age Jan Saia showed aptitude for drawing and won many art competitions. She followed a professional career in interior design but continued to draw and paint. Jan Saia went on to be tutored by a still life and portrait painter who followed in the style of the great masters.She is inspired by many things from colours, negative space, form, rhythm and how objects play off one another. Jan Saia states, 'The basis of my paintings is still like this, very tonal in the value relationships and how light falls on form, like a Rembrandt sort of thing. Its not just about objects I am capturing on canvas but the relationship of whats around the objects aswell'.
